There is measurable value in being entertained. Studies have shown that relaxation is very important in absorption of new information.

Life is about more than learning and self-improvement. It would be a sad waste of time if all one ever did was study, learn, and work on mental improvement, without finding time to pursue hobbies for pure pleasure, go to a museum, lounge about, and read smutty novels.

Personally my time is far too valuable to spend working. I'm successful enough that I no longer need to constantly strive for more. I work in moderation; and I entertain myself in moderation.
